2.10 Live Chatwenglor offers advice via live chat as part of its web service. You may communicate with one of our advisers via text in the live chat function. Data collected in this case is used to process your inquiry. The text content you enter into the chat mask during the live chat (name, request, possibly contact data) is voluntary. If you wish further contact during the course of the chat, we request that you use the contact form if asked by one of our consultants. Art. 6 (1) GDPR provides the legal basis for collection and processing of data.When you access and use live chat, your Internet browser automatically transmits data at the start of use for technical reasons (date and time of access, duration of visit). The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of our legal obligations in the area of data security and our legitimate interest in rectifying faults and guaranteeing the safety of our offers. These data are also processed for analysis purposes without being assigned to a specific person. Data is collected for the same purposes as for anonymous data collection (see above).We keep the data entered by you in the live chat until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

2.11 Contact Form/ RequestsYou may send us a request using the contact form on our website. We will store your data from the contact form (content of your inquiry, subject of your inquiry and date) as well as the contact data entered (first name, surname, email, title, company, phone, country, city and postcode) for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not forward these data without your consent. Art. 6 (1) GDPR provides the legal basis for collection and processing of data.We will keep the data you enter in the contact form until you request us to delete it, your consent to storage is revoked or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

2.12 E-mail ContactIf you send us inquiries or information by e-mail, we will store the details provided by you (e-mail address, content of your e-mail, subject of your e-mail and date) as well as the contact data (first name, surname, if applicable telephone number, address) for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case we have any follow-up questions. We will not forward these data without your consent. Art. 6 (1) GDPR provides the legal basis for collection and processing of data.

The user is advised that e-mails can be read or changed during transmission without authorization and unnoticed. wenglor uses software to filter unwanted e-mails (spam filter). The spam filter rejects emails that have been falsely identified as spam due to certain features.We will keep the data entered until you request us to delete it, your consent to storage is revoked or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

2.13 Subscription to NewsletterOn our website there is an option to subscribe to our company newsletter. In our newsletter we inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals about the company's products and special offers. For this purpose, we require a valid e-mail address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or only on a voluntary basis. For legal reasons, we use the double opt-in process and send a confirmation by e-mail to the e-mail address entered by the data subject when initially subscribing to the newsletter. We use these data exclusively for sending the newsletter and do not forward them to third parties. Art. 6 (1) GDPR provides the legal basis for collection and processing of data. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. We have to collect these data in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and it is therefore used for our protection.You may revoke your consent to the storage of the data and e-mail address and their use for the transmission of the newsletter at any time using the "unsubscribe wenglor news" link in each newsletter. Alternatively you may send a mail to news.de@wenglor.com at any time stating your request to unsubscribe to the newsletter. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawalWe will store the data you give us in connection with your newsletter subscription until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will delete them after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.2.13.1 Newsletter Tracking The newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of an online-marketing campaign. On the basis of the embedded pixel code we can detect whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.We store and evaluate such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters on the basis of legitimate interests in order to optimize newsletter dispatch and to customize the content of future newsletters in the best possible interests of the data subject. Art. 6 (1) GDPR provides the legal basis. These personal data will not be forwarded to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the declaration of consent given separately via the double opt-in process. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is interpreted as an automatic cancellation.

2.14 Career Section/ Online ApplicationYou may also look at the career section and/or submit applications by e-mail. We collect and process the personal data (master data, contact data, attachments such as cover letter, CV, certificates, etc.) of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Data may also be processed electronically. This may happen in particular if an applicant sends the controller relevant application documents by e-mail or via a web form on the website, for example. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the decision of refusal, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense may be, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). Art. 6 (1) GDPR provides the legal basis for collection and processing of data.

4 Final Section of the Privacy Policy

4.1 Length of Storage (Passus)We store your data as long as required in order to provide our online offer and associated services or where foreseen by the European regulators or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject. In all other cases we delete your personal data when the purpose has been fulfilled, with the exception of such data which we are legally obliged to store (e.g. retention periods for documents such as contracts and invoices in compliance with tax and commercial law).

4.2 Technical Securitywenglor uses technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as inquiries you send to us as a site operator, this site uses SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. In general we use 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether a single page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted form by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.Please be aware that there are inherent security risks in transmitting data (e.g. e-mail communication) via the Internet. It is impossible to safeguard completely against unauthorized access by third parties.

4.3 Legal basis of ProcessingArt. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for example with processing operations in connection with the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or reciprocal services, data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing processes that are necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract; for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be given to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In this case, data would be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR. Finally data may be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. All processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on said Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the well-being of all our employees and our customers.

4.4 Legal or Contractual Regulations for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of Contracts; Obligations of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide DataWe advise you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data before a contract can be concluded, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee instructs the data subject on a case-by-case basis as to whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of failure to provide the personal data.

4.5 Notice concerning minorsThis online offer is not addressed to children under 16. Children under 16 may not give any personal data to wenglor without the consent of their parent or guardian.
